Hector, sorry for getting to this so late. I see that your holiday calendar only cobvers 2009. Can you please add the holidays for 2010 as well, so that the file doesn't get out-of-date in 4.5 months already? Thanks!

Héctor, any update on this?

I am really busy on a work project right now. I will try to research the information and update the file, although I thought the ICF submitted contained date specific holidays, and therefore they do not change from year to year. Maybe I missed that there was a way to specify that. 

Also, in looking at the concept, there should be a way to specify a "universal" holiday, such as New Year's, and Christmas. Otherwise, on the given date, if you have multiple ICFs, you end up with half a dozen entries saying that on December 25th, Christmas is observed. This is redundant and inefficient.

Héctor, for those holidays who occur on the same day every year (christmas, new year's day, independence day, etc.) you can just mark those days as yearly recurring in the Sunbird new event dialog.

That obviously doesn't work with holidays that occur on different dates each year, like easter.
